Side note - not going to bother trying to fit that Z-tune style fins to the bonnet, it will require a bit of cutting and I can't really be bothered! -
Got my lazy ass of the couch this weekend, made that bonnet fit - painted it gloss black, looks really good. had to raise the front coil-overs a little just so i could get out of my driveway. and was noticing it was becoming increasingly more and more difficult to start - I put this down to the E85 and cold weather but turns out the little battery just wasn't keeping up, turns out if these cars don't see a good amount of voltage they won't fire. I had already moved the battery to the boot so had plenty of room, I just upgraded to the biggest battery i could fit/afford, then used "0" gauge cable on it. going to upgrade the starter and alternator wires to "O" gauge in the future. Pics - Battery before and after (exciting stuff)

Get onto Tao from Hypergear, he's on Facebook and in the link above ^ cost was around $850ish I think (don't quote me) -
Not to mention the things that would break from such a failure, a poor man pays twice. to OP - you've asked for feedback on cheap coilovers, you have received such feedback, the general consensus is that they are shit, but the current situation you're in with cut springs is also of concern. I have a feeling you were hoping for answers such as "yeah they ok" they all right" but in reality they will cause you more headaches than they're worth. Good advice here would be to take car of road till decent suspension components can be installed. Cheers.

Not the best news about it being loose, have you noticed a lack of power? Is it NA or turbo? Also if the gasket you currently have is shagged them use the new one, unless you wanna buy a metal gasket. But I would use a broke gasket. also are you hanging to a FFP? Maybe just when you put it all back back together just make sure everything's tight, nothing should be loose enough to allow air to escape.

Has anyone had issues with Proflow?

Don't think that's acceptable man seems pretty poor on there behalf, I've used them a couple of times and it's kinda hit and miss, sometimes the guys can't help you at all so you've just gotta know exactly what you need. went in there one time had a guy spending ages trying to find the right fitting for me, said we needed to use some adapter and all up was going to be like $80 for a right hand bend fitting from like dash 5 to dash 6 the other side, I went to a place called "Enzed" and they had exactly what I needed for $10... and it had a psi rating too (Enzed is a hydraulic hose fitting specialist) I usually go there first before Proflow now. -
Update - bought a second hand bonnet, cut the lip off, and it fits perfectly with the front bar. then cut out the Z tune fenders and threw it on! looks like i could make this work.... now for some more cutting and bogging. I've been adding regular videos to youtube just based around my 34, heres something i threw together after a day down the Great Ocean Road-

Haven't done much recently, but still playing around with the body kit, I've sprayed up my side skirts, rear bar and fitted them. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm still looking into a new diff, then perhaps later down the track a plazmaman cooler new coil packs and a re tune. added some photos i took with my mates too. I'm gonna say for the first time I am considering building the motor... No fancy 25/30 stuff either just straight up 25neo built.... maybe one day if the wallet allows. stay tuned.

Went for a bit of a boost today while giving my new camera a run, and the Z-tune bonnet i had repaired ripped apart from the skin that was fun. heres a video of it happening - and some photos when i got it home.

GOT SUM's RB34

mate I'm totally guttered you're not going with a forward facing plenum and 3' piping! it'd look so much neater and you'd have no clearance issues with your injectors! also just a side note - the tomei FPR isn't supposed to work with E85, the diaphragm inside it will eventually eat away, I found this out when the sales rep from Tomei told me while i was over in Japan on holidays, so i switched out to a turbo smart FPR. -
welcome mate! any plans on future mods? will you be like everyone else and turbo it one day? perhaps some body mods for now? - Dan

does the car feel like it drops 14psi? you'd certainly feel the cut or decrease in power, if not its probably a setting within the boost controller, look into how to set it up correctly.

Whilst at the tuners - he noticed a slight exhaust leak, also was told my intercooler isn't flowing to well..and then later to have a problematic CAS makes me think that I should go back for a re tune with a better cooler, probably plazmaman.

Still on the jungle juice mate!

andddd because today was such a nice day i got some painting done so happy with my devilbiss SGK 600! I fan it out a bit more when laying down colour, and then concentrate a tiny bit more for clear, and it comes out great! it was still a little cold when i did my bonnet but nothing a block back and buff won't fix
